The Library Resource Centre is open for students from 9:00 am-3:30 pm (closed 1:00-1:30 for lunch)
The role of the learning resource centre is to provide access to a wide variety of resources that are chosen to support the curriculum and meet the individual needs of staff and students. There are 20 networked computer stations in the Library, that allow the students to access their personal files and the World Wide Web. There charge no fines for overdue books, but there are bills issued for lost or damaged books. A found book will earn a refund if it is still in usable condition. Please look after books and always return them. If we don't have to replace lost books, we can use the money for new books.

Good {51P-EdXgjsL__BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU15_.jpg} Good Girls Don't
Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school existence. Dysfunctional like her parents’ marriage; her doll-crazy twelve-year-old sister, Kasey; and even her own anti-social, anti-cheerleader attitude. When a family fight results in some tearful sisterly bonding, Alexis realizes that her life is creeping from dysfunction into danger. Kasey is acting stranger than ever: her blue eyes go green sometimes; she uses old-fashioned language; and she even loses track of chunks of time, claiming to know nothing about her strange behavior. Their old house is changing, too. Doors open and close by themselves; water boils on the unlit stove; and an unplugged air conditioner turns the house cold enough to see their breath in.
Alexis wants to think that it’s all in her head, but soon, what she liked to think of as silly parlor tricks are becoming life-threatening--to her, her family, and to her budding relationship with the class president. Alexis knows she’s the only person who can stop Kasey -- but what if that green-eyed girl isn’t even Kasey anymore?

Envy{51NLI+54ZUL__SL500_AA300_.jpg} Envy by Gregg
Crime lives--and dies--in the deceptively picture-perfect town of Port Gamble (aka “Empty Coffin”), Washington. Evil lurks and strange things happen--and 15-year-olds Hayley and Taylor Ryan secretly use their wits and their telepathic “twin-sense” to uncover the truth about the town's victims and culprits.
Envy, the series debut, involves the mysterious death of the twins' old friend, Katelyn. Was it murder? Suicide? An accident? Hayley and Taylor are determined to find out--and as they investigate, they stumble upon a dark truth that is far more disturbing than they ever could have imagined.
Based on the shocking true crime about cyber-bullying, Envy will take you to the edge--and push you right over.
{Save_the_white_whale.jpg}{51aLneKEqgL__SL500_AA300_.jpg} Zombiekins by
The march of zombies through pop culture is unstoppable. With Zombiekins, the new novel from Sir Fartsalot Hunts the Booger author Kevin Bolger, the undead shamble their way into a book for children through the unlikely means of a stuffed toy.
At a local witch’s yard sale, grade-schooler Stanley Nudelman is drawn to the titular half-bunny, half-teddy with the “macabre, half-dead appearance.” What he doesn’t realize is that the toy has a few hidden features, such as an ability to come to life in moonlight, which results in a stuffed-animal massacre at Stanley’s sister’s tea party. Thing go from bad to worse when he brings Zombiekins to school, and the toy starts biting his classmates, transforming them into the walking dead. Stanley, a scaredy-cat protagonist if there ever was one, must find the courage to overcome not just hordes of zombie-kids, but even more terrifying, school bullies and tyrant teachers.

Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books—but we are real.
Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. we have lived among you without you knowing.
But they know.
They caught Number One in Malaysia.Number Two in England.And Number Three in Kenya.They killed them all.

Whenhen troubled high-schooler
In this newest novel from prolific children’s author Sheree Fitch, Jake has all of the anger issues and learning difficulties that might make a teenage boy seem hopeless and unapproachable. And yet, Fitch shows that beneath Jake’s frustrations and mistakes lies a boy who is only trying to improve his life and protect the girl he loves. The local police and teachers may see him as a bad seed, but with the help of a core support network – including his dad, his therapist, and Skye – Jake realizes he can finally make something of himself.
Jake proves himself to be a narrator with a natural poetic flair – he may have trouble with language, but he clearly loves it nonetheless. Unsurprisingly for Fitch, a longtime literacy advocate, Jake attempts to improve himself through songwriting, vocabulary lessons, and wordplay – without it coming off like a lesson. He is relatable and brutally honest, and his flaws will only endear him more to readers.
